Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)
Chapter 1

Love made people hurt.

At No.27 Hotel in Amsterdam, Jessica lay on the bed. Seeing the manthrough the glass of the washroom, she was a little shy.

She just had a glass of wine at the bar downstairs and felt tipsy.

In a few moments, the man came out, topless. She couldn't see his faceclearly, but she believed that it was her boyfriend, Vincent.

His strong chest muscles were reflected by the light and his lower bodywas wrapped in a white bath towel. Jessica could smell the fragrance ofshampoo.

The man's body came up directly before she could react.

When Jessica woke up, there was still a charming smell in the room.Their clothes were scattered on the ground, and there were many spotson the white sheet.

Jessica opened her eyes but didn't see the man. When she was ready toget up, she found her whole body in pain. It was so painful that shecouldn't even walk.

Today was the day of her engagement to Vincent.

Vincent had specially arranged for this engagement to be held in acastle in Amsterdam.

Jessica turned on her phone and checked the time. It was almost nineo'clock, and the engagement ceremony was about to begin at teno'clock. She immediately called Vincent, but he didn't answer.

“That's weird. Why didn't he wake me up?’

Jessica quickly got up and tidied herself up. Then she took a taxi to thecastle, but she didn't expect that the bodyguards at the door didn't lether in since she was the heroine today. Jessica had a bad feeling. Shecalled her father, Jason.

Just as Jessica was about to hang up, Jason picked up.

"Jessica, you can stay in the hotel. Vincent and Tina are about to getengaged. Don't come and cause any trouble. *

After saying that, Jason hung up the phone. Jessica's mood seemed tohave fallen to the bottom of the valley, and the light in her eyesinstantly disappeared.

“What the fu... Am I still in my dream? Did I hear it wrong? Why is myfiancé getting engaged to my sister? I just slept with him yesterday!"

It is impossible.’

The cheerful music started playing from the castle. It was as ifeverything was telling her that it was true.

Jessica fell onto the steps at the entrance of the castle. Suddenly, it wasraining heavily outside. Jessica was still confused. She even couldn'tfigure out what was going on, like she had skipped some years of herlife.

She stared blankly at the entrance of the castle and suddenly realizedthat the bodyguards at the entrance were gone.

She then stood up and quickly walked into the castle.

Vincent was giving a speech on stage now. In front of everyone, he wastalking about the love story between him and Tina.

Jessica slowly approached. She felt that the words spoken by Vincentwere like sharp blades that kept stabbing into her chest.

Tina caught a glimpse of Jessica who was getting closer from the cornerof her eye. She became nervous, and her eyes began to show panic."Tina, being with you is the most correct decision in my life. * Vincentslightly tilted his head, looking at Tina with deep affection.

The guests below the stage were all waiting to hear their vows, but Tinadid not notice that Vincent was waiting for her reply.

When Vincent's heated gaze was fixed on Tina, he happened to noticeJessica behind her.

The fire in his eyes slowly faded, and he tried to use a sharp gaze towarn Jessica not to get close.

On the stage, other than the couple-to-be, Jessica, who was completelydrenched, was walking up the stage, and the crowd below began towhisper.

"Who is she? Why is she here?"

"That's so rude. *

Jessica stared at the two people on the stage coldly. She deliberatelysaid loudly, "Vincent, I thought we hadn't broken up, right? So, couldyou please tell me why the hell are you standing here and saying thosestupid and disgusting words to my dear sister?"

Vincent said, "It's..."

She then turned to ask Tina, "Tina, my dear sister, you even invited meto drink last night. You wished me and Vincent happiness. How comeafter I woke up, you stole my boyfriend?"

Tina looked terrible, and her mouth twitched. She didn't know what tosay.

There was a commotion below the stage.

Jason rushed up to the stage and picked up the microphone, saying,"I'm sorry everyone, Jessica is drunk. " After saying that, he tried to pullJessica away.

How could Jessica be willing to leave? She tried to break away fromJason's hand. However, at this moment, Jason used a voice that onlythe two of them could hear and said, "Think of your grandmother. "Unexpectedly, Jason used her grandmother to threaten her, who washer only beloved family.

Staring at Jason, Jessica really felt that it was funny. But she had nochoice, she had to save her grandmother.

“I'm not done with you!" After saying that, Jessica strode out.

The engagement scene once again returned to peace.

Jessica was wandering around for more than an hour before returningto the hotel.

She still couldn't figure out why Vincent would trick her to Europe if hewas going to be engaged to Tina.

“How could he sleep with me last night and leave peacefully to engagemy sister? That's really ridiculous.’

Sitting on the carpet, Jessica felt like she was drained of her strength.However, she couldn't go back yet, because she told her grandmabefore that Vincent would take her to Europe for a few more days.

In the afternoon, she decided to leave the hotel, this horrible place.

At the entrance to the hotel on the first floor, Vincent and Tina just gotout of the black Bentley.

The moment they saw Jessica, both of them were stunned as if they hadbeen caught having an affair.

Seeing them, Jessica walked up to Vincent and slapped him in the face."Jessica, are you insane? He's my fiancé now. How dare you slap him! *Jessica sneered and said, "I really underestimated your shamelessness,both of you."

She had lost everything. If she just let them go easily, she would feelbad. She accumulated all the strength and wanted to slap Tina, but herwrist was grabbed by Vincent and stopped in mid-air, "Jessica, don'tmake a fool of yourself here.”

With a sneer, she looked at Vincent angrily, "Let go of your dirty hand!"She shook his hand off and left.

Jessica walked down the unfamiliar streets of Amsterdam with hersuitcase. She was so angry that she couldn't breathe.

At that time, her phone kept ringing.

"Hello. " Jessica answered the phone weakly.

"Is this Jessica? This is the hospital.”

The person on the phone told her that her grandma was in the hospital.Anxiously, Jessica rushed to the airport.

Only a first-class ticket was available for the latest flight back home.Although it was very expensive for her, she still bought one.

She didn't expect that her grandma would suddenly fall ill. She wassupposed to bring her here to the engagement ceremony, but hergrandmother didn't want any trouble.

The plane finally took off.

She leaned back in the comfortable chair and fell asleep.

She had a terrible dream. She dreamed that her grandmother told herto take care of herself and that she was leaving.

Jessica called out to grandma and suddenly got up to chase after her.However, she accidentally spilled a glass of juice on the person besideher. It seemed that the man sitting next to her was a disabled person.The man's expression was cold. He was obviously infuriated by thesudden accident. Jessica quickly apologized, picked up a tissue, andwiped his shirt.

When her hand just touched his white shirt, she was pushed back to herseat.

For the next few hours, she was very careful, afraid of angering the manbeside her.

In Williams Corporation.

Simon took a stack of documents into the president's office.

"Sir, Master has issued an ultimatum. Within this month, you mustmarry White's second daughter, Tina White.”

Simon took out a photo and put it on the desk. Without looking at it,Oliver threw it into the trash can.

Williams was the richest family in Birmingham and controlled theeconomic lifeline of the city. However, the upper class had always saidthat because of the car accident, Oliver Williams had been sufferingfrom a hidden disease and was unable to sleep with a woman.

There had never been a woman around him, and it just so happened toconfirm that rumor. Otherwise, for someone as rich as him, there wouldbe many women wanting to date him.

The girls of the other great families in Birmingham were naturallyunwilling to marry him.

"How was the investigation of what happened in Holland?" Oliverglanced at the background investigation of Tina and asked.

Simon stuttered a litde, "Sir, the wine you drank that night wasdrugged, and we couldn't take you to the hospital, so that's why thathappened. "

Oliver interrupted him, "That woman, do you replace out who she is?""The surveillance camera on that day was destroyed. This should havebeen done by someone. There's no way to recover it now. It's verydifficult to replace her with just a tulip earring. *

That earring was picked up by Oliver by mistake before he left, whichwas his only lead.

In Holland, tulips were so common that replaceing them was like replaceing aneedle in a haystack.

That day in order to help him replace a clean girl, they spent 500,000 eurosin cash through the local agency, because there was a confidentialityclause that the girl's information couldn't be exposed at all.

The situation in Armstrong was different from Birmingham, and it wasvery difficult for Oliver to investigate this matter. It was because of thisthat others seized the opportunity to drug him.

"Keep checking. She is important.”
